oxstardust421xo: I just use a little bit of dish soap and warm water. I clean all the little crevices with a soft toothbrush. I can’t really comment on how good or bad that is for my ring as I haven’t had it for very long, only cleaned it a couple of times.

What about drugstore jewelry that’s all sparkly gold when you get it, then it starts to tarnish (?) and gets all dull and gray. It’s not real metal, just fake gold stuff. How do you clean that back to sparkly gold?

jackie376: If it’s fake gold, you can’t get it back to that sparkly gold…the outer gold layer has been removed.

My rings are white gold and I usually just wash with soap and water, and get in cleaned at the store every 6 months for inspection.

For sterling silver jewelry, you can take a pan/bowl and line it with tin foil, sprinkle some baking soda in it and place your jewelry in…then pour boiling water to cover the jewelry…any tarnish on sterling silver jewelry will come right off within a few minutes. Rinse jewelry off and dry.

oxstardust421xo: I got told by my jeweler to steam or even boil my platinum ring. Like, put my ring in a tea ball used for loose leaf tea and hold it above boiling water or even dunk it. At the jewelers, they have a high pressured steamer to clean the jewelry there.

BEST REMEDY EVER, I get SO excited to share this with people!<br /><br />Detox Shampoo and a disposable mascara wand! (Or the end of your eyebrow makeup brush).<br /><br />I am in the hair industry so I am constantly around these things, it essentially costs nothing for me which is AMAZING. And it literally gets it to shine so bright, I can’t take my eyes off of it, every. single. time!!!<br /><br />Aveda’s Detox shampoo is the absolute best option, however…Aveda doesn’t sell it for consumer use. But any clarifying shampoo will do the trick, and all you need is a little dot!!

oxstardust421xo: I throw water in a coffee cup, out it in the microwave til it’s almost boiling- pull it out, let it cool for a moment, add a litel windex, and let my rings sit in there for awhile. Then I take a soft bristled toothbrush (really soft) and clean my rings. Rinse and dry.

Gabrielle713: I have dropped my ring into a cup that had boiling water in it- but not over a stove. While I have read it’s a recommended method for some, I have also read that in some cases, it *could* mishape the metal. I don’t know if that’s true or not….
